A mail carrier had a registered letter that needed a signature from a party on his route.

    Receiving no response to his knock on the front door, he went around to the back door which he found open, except for the screen door. He knocked. A high-pitched voice from inside said, “Come in.”

    Upon entering the kitchen, he was confronted by the largest German Shepherd he had ever seen.

    The dog bared his fangs menacingly, forcing the mail man against the wall. The mail man shouted, “Lady, call off your dog before he eats me alive.”

    The only response he got was that same high-pitched voice coming from the next room saying, “Come in.”

    Pressing his body against the wall, he slowly worked his way to the doorway leading to the next room.

    Looking around, he saw the room was empty, except for a parrot in a cage. Angry, he asked the parrot:

    “Darn you, don’t you know any words besides ‘Come in?’”

    Without hesitation the parrot responded, “Take him down!”
